Very happy with our whole experience!!! Clam chowder was fresh and the potatoes in it were not grainy but perfect. Seafood boil hot and fresh!! Server recommended captain special which was good! I love the tons of fresh garlic. However, a customer did ruin our experience by getting hostile and not wanting to pay for their food after eating which apparently is common around this location. But that did not ruin our experience. Will definitely return because of the fresh ingredients used and how hot and consistent everything always is. read more

I've ordered from here thice. Twice on DoorDash, and once in person. It has been delicious, fresh, and CLEAN every time. My go to order is Captains Catch 1/2 lb headless shrimp with captains mild special sauce (comes with a corn and potato) and it's the perfect amount of food for me. As with any boil, the aroma lingers on the breath, but it's well worth it lol. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Bathroom is never clean. Workers always have a bad attitude and are not professional. They need better workers and customers service. Other than that the food is good but who wants to eat at a place where the servers are so rude. I been here multiple times and it's always the same customer service. A girl with color short hair has always treated my family horrible. We even tip. read more

My favorite place to come eat seafood!! Every time i come in I get sat in less than 5 minutes and food comes out just as fast (obviously not 5 minutes but fast haha). Margaritas here are also $7 and have a kick to 'em! read more

For some reason, Captain Crab is the only seafood place where I finished my entire seafood boil. So it must be really good. I got a bag of shrimp & crawfish w/ corn and potatoes. It's game changer to order rice as well. I got the captain special & it was a lot of flavor. The Cajun fries were also very good and a good amount. The service was good, quick and attentive. read more

I ordered ahead of time and they had me wait an extra 30 minutes, to come find out they had given my order to a different person. Very upsetting and disappointing. Customer service is not good. They did not even accommodate anything for waiting a long time. read more

Food was delicious service was great and I enjoyed myself we was seated right away. It was the first time I had gone to a crab place and sat down to eat. Well worth it. read more

I drive by this place almost everyday and finally got to try it today. They have a lot of great promos on Instagram too, so check out their page to get all the deals. We came for early dinner on a weekday so the place was nice and empty. There are lots of TVs playing different channels so it would be a good place to hang out and watch sports. The menu is very similar to something like Boiling Crab, so if you're a fan of seafood you'll love this place! I had the calamari and fries. The calamari was really crispy and I liked the cajun sauce that came on the side. I also had a taste of their crab legs and shrimp and both tasted really good even with mild spice. All of the food came out really quickly in less than 20 minutes and everything came fully prepared with lemons, bibs, gloves, and anything you can think of for your seafood bag! Our server was really nice & patient and the manager even came by to check on us as well. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves seafood. It's a great place to celebrate birthdays or special occasions and it's a big restaurant so it's convenient for large parties! read more

Food was just okay, salty, the size of the crab on their seafood boil is not worth of the prize. The service was okay, the appetizer came with the main course. I was expecting it to be before the main course. The ambience is great. read more

Food was good but our server was not. She was so rude and fully ignored me and my friend while we were waiting to be sat. She looked me in the eyes and went ahead and asked the party behind me if they were ready. Mind you we were standing in line. Anyway the ambiance was okay just the server was killing the vibe. read more

Food was so good but why's the server mugging everyone at my table? We were direct and respectful towards her but whole time she was making faces at us like for why? Anyways, like I said, food was good but her attitude was not. This isn't the first time it's happened either , not sure but I think her name is Tiffany read more

The food is pretty good, definitely a good quantity. Crab legs were sorta thin, not a lot of meat. It is a loud, family oriented venue, easy to not be uncomfortable making a mess. It is what I expect at this level of cost, the location, and the overall venue. The service was moderately good, but, at the same time, they were busy. read more

I had dinner here earlier. The food was tasty, especially the shrimps and crab legs. The service was excellent. They made sure to check on us frequently. The ambiance was pleasant. The place was clean and spacious. read more

I really wanted a seafood boil and after some searching, we found Captain Crab. I saw on their online menu they had a family special but it didn't have a price. Normally when a place doesn't disclose the price, it's super expensive but we called and were pleasantly surprised it was only $60. We ordered over the phone and the person who answered was very patient with my husband who was having a hard time deciding which seafood he wanted in the family deal. We opted for the snow crab legs, headless shrimp ($2 extra charge) and mussels with the Captain Special seasoning at mild spicy. We also got an extra container of the Captain special seasoning at medium spicy and an order of lemon pepper wings. We were told the food would be ready in about 20 minutes and sure enough, everything was bagged and ready to go when we arrived. I appreciate that they included bibs and gloves too. The portion size of the family special was pretty decent for the price. Shrimp were nice and plump and peeled easily, the crab legs were full of meat but I honestly wasn't too much of a fan for the mussels. The mild spicy sauce was very watery, but had good flavor. It wasn't salty to us like other reviews mentioned. The medium spicy sauce was thick and the heat crept up on me but I enjoyed it. We ended up mixing the 2 sauces together and it was perfect. The lemon pepper wings were a little dry, but my son didn't mind and had them finished in no time. Overall it's a decent seafood boil spot and a really good price tag when compared to other similar places. We will for sure return! read more

Don't recommend eating here unless you want to be charged more. I went during lunch hour, so it was not busy and it was a party of two. The server greeted us and asked us what drinks we wanted. After about 20 mins and no drinks or our order taken down we asked another server and she took our order down. Then, our original server came out with our drinks, mind you 25 mins later. Our food was taking so long so we asked another server to check our food and when they went to check our original server came out with our food. Once it was time to pay the total came out to around $93. We did not leave a tip after the service being terrible, I made sure to put zero. We paid and left. A couple days later, I get a notification from my bank that I was charged 112 dollars. After adding i realized they added 20% gratuity. I called and they told me they will look into it. After a couple days I called again and the manager asked me if he can just send me the difference through apple pay or venmo. If you are going to eat here make sure to take a receipt with you and double check because they will try to pull one over you and be prepared for terrible service even during low hours. read more

Plenty of parking, clean joint, friendly staff, and plenty of tables. We ordered the $75 King Crab special with shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage. It was plenty for 2 people tho the 2 king crab legs hardly seemed worth the $75 price tag. They give you bibs and tools to help you enjoy your crab. Seasoning was on point. Seafood was fresh and we had plenty left over still to take home. read more

My family and I love the food here. It always hits the spot when we're craving seafood. I wouldn't say expect super high quality but if you love a shrimp boil and you want the spicy flavors this is the place to order from. I've not had the chance to dine in yet. The telephone ordering is easy and hassle free. They also keep track of your previous orders to make life a bit easier. read more

food was delicious, BUT our waiter a tall blue haired asian was rude and mugging us the whole time, making faces while we were ordering etc. We were also obligated to leave a 35 dollar tip which she did not deserve. read more

So. . .my sister, niece and I decided to meet here to catch up and have girl time. I had never been here before. Well, I've never been to this location. I went to the Captain Crab in Arden and I was a bit disappointed because of the flavor of my crab boil was "off". It just wasn't all that great. But not at this location. The sauce here was on point! Soooo good. I vowed to return within a week it was so good. Our server, Angel, was very pleasant and it was easy to get her attention when we needed it. We ordered one of the crab boils and it came with a decent amount of food but it was 3 of us with 2 corns and 2 eggs so we had to order more. I think next time I'll order another pound or something. But I was thoroughly please and I highly recommend this location. Sorry, no pics this time. I just right in and never came up for air LOL. Next time though. read more

We came in to have a late dinner the other night. We enjoyed the atmosphere. We appreciated the service that our server gave us. She was attentive and was sure to check up on us every so often. The food was delicious. We ordered the fried mushrooms (cooked fresh) for our appetizer. For our meal, we ordered a side of rice. Our main was the Captain Special Boil 1/2 Ib snow crab, 1/2 Ib headless shrimp, 1 pc.lobster tail, one potato, one corn and one egg. Everything was great but again because we came in on the later side, they decided to start cleaning up. Which was ok but if they decided to start cleaning, clean on the other side where there's no customers. They decided to mop the floor where we were seated. Unfortunately, we weren't done eating and then to smell the chemicals just turned us off. Now you're smelling the bathroom smell as well as trying to finish eating. We stopped eating and took the rest of our food home. Will we go back most likely but not at the end of the night. We got there at 8:30 and they closed at 10:00 but started mopping floors around 9:40. read more

Oh my gosh, literally everything was perfect including the service food was amazing. we will definitely be coming back. read more

Captain Crab - YUMMY SEA FOOD PASTA - Seafood Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Monday, 12/26/2022 - Tried "Captain Crab". Address is 8471 Elk Grove Florin Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624. This restaurant is located at the corner of Elk Grove Florin Road an be Calvin, in a shopping plaza with Bel Air forget store, Carl's Jr, Togo, Chevron gas, etc. When we arrived, there were lots of parking and not many people eating inside. Pros: 1) One of the hostess, at the front, seated us right away. I saw 2 ladies in the front. 2) our gentleman server was extremely nice and friendly. He smiled while greeting us, patient, and checked on us to make sure we got everything we needed or refills. 3) restaurant looked cleaned. 4) water tasted great. No funky or odd taste in the water. 5) our sea food in the bag tasted great. Crab, shrimps, potatoes, sausages and corn were perfectly cooked. We got the King's Deluxe Boil deal. They provided fork, knives and a separate plate so we can eat on it. There were no crab cracker utensil. But we didn't need it. 6) bathroom was very clean. Cons: 1) when we left, my SO tried to joke with one of the hostess at the front to bring her a smile. She looked so unfriendly. May be a bad night for her or something, but boy was she unsmiling from the beginning when we walked in and when we walked out. I hope whatever is bothering her this night, left her and she's much happier by now. But that is really no way to welcome your customers or say goodbye. Just glad whatever it is, she didn't take it out on the patrons and kept her distance. Conclusion: Besides that sad or unfriendly looking hostess, we liked this restaurant. Our server was great. He had great customer service. I hope he gets recognized for that. The foods were good. Plenty of parking and seating inside restaurant. Bathroom was clean. Try this place if you haven't yet. read more

Staff were very friendly and welcoming , greeted us immediately as we walked in and had us seated within seconds. Service was great, we came around 7pm the environment was super calm and mellow, nice for a last minute dinner idea. read more

3 star because the food wasn't too bad. Surprised it wasn't busy during dinner time on a Friday night during lent season. My reason for lower stars is because although we were seated right away, our server took a long time getting to us and taking our order as well as bringing our order. So many other tables that were sat after us (we were only a group of 4) were served and left long before we even got our food. It seemed as all the other servers were very attentive to their tables but ours not so much. Disappointed. read more

It was so good!! Service was super fast and everything came out hot and fresh. We did one of the family deals and it was perfect for 3 people, almost finished the whole thing. This place serves you every single utensil you could need as well, not just crab crackers, plus there's one of each one for everyone. You get the scissors and everything, & they even provide gloves! That's a huge plus for me. There were also extra pairs when I needed to freshen up. Overall, from great service to delicious food and the cleanliness of this restaurant, I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering coming by. read more

I have eaten here twice now, and both times were equally great. The food is absolutely delicious and they even taste great as leftovers too. I got served pretty quickly and the server checked in a few times over the course of the meal, very nice the whole time. The ambiance is neat, what I'd consider to be pretty standard for a seafood boil place. The prices are reasonable enough as well.​ read more

I was a bit skeptical on our choice to go to Captain Crab after reading some reviews. What put my mind at ease was the fact that the manager had read and responded to every review and took notes on what needed to be improved. We were immediately greeted and the dining room is HUGE. There was plenty of booths and table seating available. They can easily accommodate large parties. We were seated immediately and I have to mention that our server, wasn't friendly and had no personality. It was a bit uncomfortable because she didn't engage whatsoever. My son had eaten here when they first opened and liked it and wanted to take me to lunch here. We got the Deluxe King Boil, it was $78 and it came with a pound of king Crab, half pound of headless shrimp, half pound of sausage, snow crab, potatoes, corn and hard boiled eggs. We also ordered a side of rice. We ordered it Cajun Spicy. The food came out rather quickly and it was Good, I'm glad that it wasn't salty and there was plenty of seafood for the two of us. As a matter of fact, we had a lot of sausage, potato and shrimp left. Our bill came out to $89 after taxes and $110 after tip. I'm giving CC a 3.5 stars. My rating would've been 4 stars I just wish the service was better. Hope to up my rating if we go back. read more

What service? Food was meh. Does the trash on the floor count as ambience? Did I mention that it stayed by our table the entire meal?

I've tried the Captain Crab by the Arden Mall location and thought maybe this would be a much better experience, but it was not. Upon entering this afternoon, noone had greeted us, there was no hostess up front to seat customers. Where did everybody go? Finally, someone came out and sat us. The Arden location seafood boil was just too salty! I thought maybe this location would make it with less salt, was I wrong! Still made too salty! I had ordered 1lb crawfish (frozen), 1/2lb shrimp with heads, and 1/2ld green mussels in the "All the above" seasoning. Maybe it's the seasoning that I've picked that was too salty? Don't get me wrong, the flavors were all there, it tasted good, but it was just over salted, makes it hard to actually taste the seafood. I could try a different flavor next time, maybe it would be a better experience, but today...just not feeling it. read more
